the heels and toes of shoes. III these are

a Tornado in Dakota.

CHICAGO, June ia special from
Grand Forks. Dakota says: This city
was visited with destructive tornado
Yesterday afternoon. The storm came
from the west and travelled due east.
Twenty. five or more buildings, including
the Catholic Church and the University
of North Dakota were blown to the
ground. The laboratory and museum in
the university were almost totally de-
stroyed, besides hundreds of smaller
dwellings, storehouses and sheds. The
following persons were killed outright

Cora Stabird, aged IL years, and man
named Gummerson, in East Grant Forks.
The seriously injured we're: Mrs. A.
Stabird and child, Mrs. Ed. Tirney and
two children, Mrs. j. Andrews and two
children, Mrs. Talton and two children,
and Mrs. Suyet and daughter, at the
University of North Dakota.
In East Grand Forks seventeen busl-
ness buildings were destroyed and both
bridges across the river were swept away.
The total loss is estimated at $100, 0,000'
The storm was local. A train from the

miles out, and rolled over couple Of

Alexander on the Commission.

Gen. E. P. Alexander, Of the Georgia
Central, writes as follows from New
York to the Atlanta Constitution, under
date of June 18th:
"I have not seen the full text of the
circular issued by the Interstate commits
sion. From the abstract published in
papers understand they have decided
that water competition makes dissimilar
circumstances, and justi6es railroads,
therefore, in accepting leas rates on
longer hauls where in direct competition
with the water. So far as that goes it is
q solution to considerable part of our
difficulties, but they have failed to de.
eide or indicate their views upon the
question whether our meeting the water
competition shall be confined to the
waters edge, or whether We may meet it
where it works back into the interior by
river and railroad. On the whole, the
circular seems to put the railroads be.
tween two horns of dilemma. IT we
conform our rates to the apparent require
ments of the Law, it will be said that we
wish to make the law odious. If We do
not, it will be charged that we are de.
flying the law. Which horn of the
dilemma We will have to take / cannot
yet say. A meeting of the Southern Rail.
way association will be held next week
to consider the matter.
E. P. ALEXANDER,
President"
